Occupational safety in biological laboratories
In genetic engineering facilities, the project leader must instruct all employees assigned to genetic engineering work on possible hazards and the necessary safety measures, based on operating instructions drawn up by the operator (§ 17 GenTSV).
In biological laboratories, the employer must ensure that employees receive oral instruction on all hazards and necessary protective measures based on up-to-date operating instructions (§ 14 BioStoffV).

Quality assurance programmes: GLP and GCLP
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a quality system concerned with the organisational process and the conditions under which non-clinical health and environmental safety studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, archived and reported (Annex 1 to § 19a (1) ChemG).
The WHO guideline on Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) identifies the systems and processes required within an organisation that analyses samples from clinical trials in line with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (WHO, GCLP, ISBN 978 92 4 159785 2).
